turkey loads for 3.5" Federal

Anybody got any good turkey loads for 3.5" federal shell?

I have many 3.5" Federal primed 209A shells that are in need of a good turkey load. I was thinking 1-7/8oz loads of #5 shot.

Empty a $5 Nitro in half and analyze, the 501L 4X5X7 loads are awesome....Dont think they are Federal shell based though.

3.5 what a brute.
The only load I have that I ahve used for years is fed case 209primer and 35grs of W571 rem rp12 wad ..1-5/8oz of #5 copper.
velocity around 1465f/s
I have some duplex loads that work real well in heavy cover if anyone is interested,
